Future Now Contest Video
The theme of my digital story that will be entered into the NYC Future Now Contest is Dreams. It reflects dreams people have had, both past and present, and dreams that could one day become reality in the future. It also shows how even when someone's dream gets temporarily put on hold, it will still be there in the future (WTC). I hope that the judges of the contest like my video. The song used is the instrumental version of "Dreams" by The Game, with production by Kayne West.

Digital Story 2 Topic
The topic I am choosing for my 2nd digital story is police brutality. While we don't see a lot of this in Staten Island, in other areas of the country (and the world) there have been many cases of police brutality in the last 20 years. This does not need to be the case and I hope that my digital story sheds some light on the subject.
